I was invincible in the dungeon with a funny character skill

In this world, the main power is held by the elves. The world is ruled by the Five Great Spirit Kings: the Fire Spirit King, the Water Spirit King, the Holy Spirit King, the Wind Spirit King, and the Earth Spirit King. They control the elemental spirit world and stand at the pinnacle of this world. They are even the essence of this world.

Humans live in the human world and can use the power of spirits by contracting with them. However, only pure maidens can contract with spirits. That's right, pure maidens. All the power in this world is held in the hands of pure maidens. Well, in a sense, it is a matriarchal world.

However, there is one exception: the protagonist. As a man, the protagonist can contract with spirits, just like a certain protagonist who, as a man, can pilot a mecha that only maidens can control!

Historically, there have been men who could control spirits, namely the legendary Demon King who wanted to destroy the world.

Therefore, this man is rumored to be the Demon King.

In fact, he is indeed the Demon King, or rather, the reincarnation of the Demon King, the reincarnation of the Sixth Great Spirit King, the Dark Spirit King, from thousands of years ago.

And in this world, there is indeed a Holy Sword that perfectly suits Wang Xiaoming's desires.

Demon-Slaying Holy Sword—Guardian Deity, Est.

A super weapon capable of killing Spirit Kings. As the highest-ranking Sword Spirit, she possesses power and rank comparable to a Spirit King. In this world, Spirit Kings are equivalent to the world's five main gods, so Est, who can kill Spirit Kings, can also be said to be a God-Slaying Sword.

And the target she is to slay is the Dark Spirit King, who opposes the Five Great Spirit Kings.

Thousands of years ago, the Dark Spirit King turned against the Five Great Spirit Kings, leading the spirits who opposed the Spirit Kings in a war against them. However, he was ultimately defeated by the Five Great Spirit Kings. At the time of his defeat, he used all his strength to reincarnate as a human male. Thus, the Demon King appeared. He contracted with a large number of spirits to fight against the Five Great Spirit Kings, who then created their own pawns to fight against the reincarnation of the Dark Spirit King.

Therefore, Est appeared, along with a tool for fighting the Demon King: the Saintess.

The so-called Saintess is a tool for wielding the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, Est, using this tool to unleash Est's power and kill the Demon King. However, at the moment of killing the Demon King, the Saintess will also die from bearing a large amount of curses.

This is the failsafe mechanism devised by the Five Great Spirit Kings. Est is called a Holy Sword, but in reality, she is a Demon Sword. Her power to break all curses doesn't actually break them, but absorbs them, absorbing the enemy's power into her body and then transferring it to the user. When the curses accumulate to a certain level, the user will petrify and die due to the eruption of the curses, turning into a pile of broken stones.

Look, what is a true superior? The Five Great Spirit Kings don't have to do anything, controlling a powerful weapon and then selecting a tool, they can sit back and relax, letting this tool carry the weapon to fight their mortal enemy to the death. In the end, their mortal enemy is killed, and the tool will perish along with them. There's no need to worry that this tool will become uncontrollable due to mastering too much power.

Therefore, Est is strong, very strong! And she can also transform into a silver-haired, emotionless beauty, just as Wang Xiaoming desires! Moreover, she is particularly clingy!

How wonderful is that! It perfectly meets Wang Xiaoming's needs.

Of course, Wang Xiaoming feels that the so-called curse and petrification are not a problem for him at all. Not to mention that he doesn't know how long he can live, his super-high magic resistance alone is enough to prevent those curses from even entering him. And even if they could enter his body, it would be useless, because his first skill is Tom Cat's body! Even if Tom Cat turns to ashes, he can recover. Although Wang Xiaoming doesn't have masochistic tendencies and hasn't turned to ashes before, he doesn't think he will be troubled by the so-called petrification curse.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Est is Wang Xiaoming's ex-wife!

Although he has neglected Est over the years due to frequently changing wives, it doesn't matter. Now there is an opportunity to make amends!

Now that the opportunity is before him, he must consider whether this is the only chance in his life!

Reforging...呸, I said it wrong again.

This is the only chance!

Because the male protagonist of this world, the reincarnation of the Dark Spirit King, Kazeharu Kamito, is right in front of him, he must take the lead and reunite with his beloved Est, reminding her of her irresponsible husband. When that time comes, whether she beats him or scolds him, he will silently endure it, because deep down he still deeply loves her!

Wang Xiaoming's heart is filled with a righteous declaration: My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just!

"Young man, you're busy, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Having made up his mind, Wang Xiaoming no longer appreciates Kazeharu Kamito and his future harem being naked and lovey-dovey in front of him. He directly bent down, stomped on the big tree with both feet, and rushed towards the direction indicated by the compass like a cannonball. The gust of wind he stirred up caused the water in the pond to explode again. Then, Kazeharu Kamito, not paying attention, fell on top of the maiden under him again, followed by the familiar scene of the harem getting angry.

Taking advantage of the time when the protagonist and his harem were getting angry, Wang Xiaoming arrived at the church where Est was sealed.

This dilapidated church looks like a ruin, except that the seal at the entrance tells people that there is indeed something here.

But...

"This is too outrageous, isn't it? Is it really just for the protagonist's service? This seal is too weak. Aren't they afraid that someone will go in and steal the sword?"

Wang Xiaoming complained while tearing down the barrier with a slap and then walking into the church.

The entire church looks like a basement, very empty. There are no windows inside, only a skylight at the top, allowing the outside light to shine in, directly illuminating the altar with a sword stuck in it.

This sword looks a bit old, and even the color is gone. Judging from its appearance, it even looks like a stone sword.

Walking to the side of this stone sword, Wang Xiaoming carefully observed it and then nodded in satisfaction.

"I think it's perfectly fine for you to cosplay Excalibur like this."

But this sword is actually fake. It's really just a stone sword. The real Est is sealed below this stone sword. This stone sword is just a decoy.

Wang Xiaoming reached out and grabbed the hilt of the stone sword, preparing to pull the sword out. He used a little force, but it didn't come out.

"It seems that there is also power on this fake stone sword to maintain it. Does that mean they want to make the fake look real?"

Magical power surged, pouring it into the stone sword. This time, the stone sword began to loosen, and Wang Xiaoming easily pulled it out and threw it aside.

The stone sword that was thrown aside immediately shattered like garbage glass products, and the altar where the sword was stuck exploded the moment the stone sword shattered.

"Oh, is the real sword about to come out?"

A beam of light flashed, and a gorgeous long sword floated in the sky. The sword guard and pommel were gold, the hilt was a noble blue, and the silver-white blade was about four centimeters wide and nearly one meter long. An oval green gem was inlaid on the spine of the sword. This is a two-handed sword, and it looks very expensive!

After being forcibly awakened by Wang Xiaoming, the sleeping sword spirit was not fully awake but was in a state of chaos. And the first thing a chaotic sword spirit wants to do is attack the person who awakened her!

The sword tip pointed at Wang Xiaoming and plunged down rapidly, stabbing towards Wang Xiaoming.

Wang Xiaoming stood in place, looking at the long sword stabbing over, with a smile on his face, waiting for the moment the blade stabbed over, he dodged the attack with a sidestep, and at the same time, he stretched out his right hand and directly grabbed the hilt.

After the hilt was grabbed, it immediately stopped flying, but the blade wanted to break free, so it struggled to fly into the sky, but Wang Xiaoming was as solid as a rock, just standing on the ground without moving, making it impossible for the sword spirit to break free.

Unable to break free, the sword spirit became angry and began to unleash a powerful force. Visible energy fluctuations spread from the sword, but Wang Xiaoming still didn't let go. There are two ways to contract with a spirit: one is to offer Kagura, which means dancing to please the spirit and then being selected by the spirit; the other is to be strong enough to force the spirit to contract. Regardless of which method, you need to know the contract incantation.

Wang Xiaoming was quite embarrassed. He had watched this anime for so many years, how could he still remember the contract incantation in it?

"Well, I forgot the lines. Est, can you just contract with me like this?"

No, you can't!

The sword spirit used frantic struggles to tell Wang Xiaoming, you wish!

Helpless, Wang Xiaoming could only continuously pour his magical power into the sword. If magical power wasn't enough, then he would use curse power!

Standing on the ground, Wang Xiaoming directly connected to the earth veins of this world, possessing infinite curse power. He was not afraid of consumption at all.

The vast curse power poured into the sword spirit's body like a tsunami. The sword spirit's blade began to bloom with dazzling light due to the influx of terrifying power. Wang Xiaoming felt that if he shouted 'EX Calibur' now and swung it out, he could directly fire a beam of light.

The sword spirit couldn't withstand such terrifying power, but the curse power was beyond her control and couldn't be used. So, she chose to send her power into Wang Xiaoming's body, so that she could reduce her pressure.

The power belonging to the sword spirit poured into Wang Xiaoming's body in this way, and one person and one sword were transferring power to each other like this.

But what the sword spirit didn't expect was that Wang Xiaoming's curse power was endless. The void caused by her transferring power to Wang Xiaoming's body was quickly filled by Wang Xiaoming's curse power. Soon, the sword spirit once again endured the pressure she couldn't bear.

The sword was trembling and glowing, but it couldn't break free.

The reluctant sword spirit struggled for a while before choosing to give up. The dazzling light began to soften, and Wang Xiaoming could feel a connection forming between himself and the sword spirit.

Wang Xiaoming stopped the output of his curse power. The light on the sword spirit gradually dimmed, restoring her original silver-white sword body. She vibrated slightly in Wang Xiaoming's palm and then dissipated into specks of light.

After the sword spirit's light points dissipated, a light blue circular pattern appeared on the back of his right hand. The pattern was in the shape of two crossed swords in the center of a magic circle.

"It seems I succeeded in the contract."

Although Wang Xiaoming didn't remember some of the details very clearly, he was sure that this was Est's contract crest. In other words, he had successfully contracted with Est.

Just imagining waking up tomorrow morning with a silver-haired loli wearing only black stockings lying on top of him, then waking up as he shook, sitting on his stomach, one hand against his chest and the other rubbing her eyes, sleepily saying, 'Good morning, Master,'

Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but get excited.

The excited Wang Xiaoming even directly raised his right hand, showing off the contract crest on the back of his hand, "Est, get~ daze!!!"

227. Cross-dressing to participate in a beauty contest... not!

He obtained a Holy Sword wife, but not completely.

Inside the dilapidated church, Wang Xiaoming sat on a stone, looking at the contract crest on his right hand, his brow slightly furrowed.

Wang Xiaoming could feel a force within his body. That force should be Est, but it wasn't as powerful as he had imagined. As far as Wang Xiaoming was concerned, he felt that this power was not as strong as when he transformed into a dragon, and even much weaker.

As the highest-ranking sword spirit, the Queen of Steel, Est shouldn't only have such weak power. If she were in the world of Campione, she would be at the very peak of the Steel Hero class.

Then there was only one answer: the Est that Wang Xiaoming contracted with, like the Est that the original protagonist contracted with, only possessed one-tenth of the main body's power and was a separate individual. Est's main body was still hidden in the Spirit Realm.

This was not what Wang Xiaoming wanted. Wang Xiaoming wasn't from this world, and he wanted to take Est away. To take her away, he naturally had to take Est's main body with him, rather than leaving it in the Spirit Realm.

"Then the question is, how can I enter the Spirit Realm? And after entering the Spirit Realm, how can I find Est's main body?"

Wang Xiaoming looked at the contract crest on his right hand and began to think about this question.

According to Est's abilities, as the highest-ranking sword spirit, her position in the Spirit Realm was second only to the Five Great Spirit Kings. She definitely wouldn't be alone, because she was the strongest weapon. Therefore, her main body was most likely hidden by the Five Great Spirit Kings, or related to the Five Great Spirit Kings.

In the original plot, Est was only able to briefly return to her main body during the Blade Dance Tournament, and then receive the memories from her main body, learning the fact that she was a demon sword. Therefore, he couldn't rely on Est to find her main body. She herself didn't even have any memories of that.

So, if he wanted to find Est, he probably needed to find the Five Great Spirit Kings first.

According to the setting of this world, the Five Great Spirit Kings were corrupted by the Otherworld Darkness, like the Angra Mainyu (All the World's Evil) from the Fate/stay night world, and one by one they went crazy. They usually wouldn't even show themselves. If he wanted to meet the Five Great Spirit Kings, there was currently only one way: to participate in the Blade Dance Tournament and obtain the final victory.

The so-called Blade Dance Tournament was a performance where spirit users, who were pure maidens, fought each other to please the Spirit Kings. The final winner of the battle would have the opportunity to meet the Spirit Kings and have one wish granted.

In fact, this Blade Dance Tournament was a ritual created by the Spirit Kings in order to share the Otherworld Darkness on their bodies. The purpose was to allow the spirit users to share the power of corrosion on their bodies, in order to ensure their sanity. However, this ritual was tampered with, causing the Spirit Kings to be unable to separate themselves from the Otherworld Darkness, and then one by one they went crazy.

But as it currently stood, the Blade Dance Tournament was the only way to meet the Spirit Kings.

"So, as expected, I still have to participate in the Blade Dance Tournament."

Wang Xiaoming began to recall the method of participating in the Blade Dance Tournament. First, he had to be a spirit user. Well, he now had Est, so he should be considered a spirit user. Then, he had to join a team, win in the local selections, and then represent that place in the Blade Dance Tournament.

The original male lead had once participated in a Blade Dance Tournament... uh, when he was young, he participated in it dressed as a girl, which was very... awesome!

But this time, he planned to participate in the Blade Dance Tournament again, and this time, he planned to participate directly as a male.

In the past, a male spirit user represented the identity of the Demon King, and would be ordered to be hunted down by the Five Great Spirit Kings. But now, he didn't need to worry about these things anymore, because the Spirit Kings were preoccupied with their own problems and simply didn't have time to care about him, this Demon King.

Since the male lead could participate in the Blade Dance Tournament, then he could also participate. It's just that this identity...

Wang Xiaoming didn't plan to join the team as a spirit user, because most of the spirit users in this world were pure maidens. And these maidens, saying they were pure maidens, were more like sheltered young ladies who didn't understand anything. Their views on male spirit users were very bad, either disgusted or fearful, because they grew up listening to the legends of the Demon King.

And besides that, because the power of this world was in the hands of the maidens, their views on men were also very bad. The male lead was constantly called a pervert or a lecher in the early stages.

Although all the spirit users in this world were beautiful girls, Wang Xiaoming was different from those male leads who liked to be scolded. He didn't like playing the grandson, even if he played the grandson in the early stages, and then used this kindness to open a harem in the later stages, he still wasn't interested.

Because these spirit users were not Wang Xiaoming's ex-wives. As a dedicated man, Wang Xiaoming only had one wife in this world, and that was Est!

So, Wang Xiaoming didn't plan to join the team as a male spirit user.

Since he wasn't joining the team as a spirit user, then the only remaining choice was a spirit!

In this world, the Five Great Spirit Kings possessed the highest status. They were gods, although Wang Xiaoming thought they were trash, their position was there.

Human power also came from the spirits. Therefore, high-ranking spirits also had a very high status among humans. There would even be some high-ranking spirits who would be worshiped by some human families for generations, becoming contract spirits passed down by those families.

Wang Xiaoming could also impersonate a spirit. His current appearance was human, but he could transform into the black dragon Nidhogg. After transforming into Nidhogg, he possessed the Fangs of the God Eater, and killing a Spirit King wouldn't be a problem at all. He could completely impersonate the highest-ranking dragon spirit.

Especially since high-ranking spirits could all transform into human forms, this just happened to allow Wang Xiaoming to move around in human form. It wouldn't be a problem at all for Wang Xiaoming to say that he was a spirit.

As for the contract with the spirit, wouldn't this kind of thing be up to Wang Xiaoming, this "high-ranking spirit," to decide?

After thinking about the method of entry, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but laugh.

"I feel like I'm getting further and further down the road of fooling people."

He fooled Xiao Mo in the Holy Grail world, and in the end, he didn't reveal the truth. After Xiao Mo went back, she would probably be extremely happy because she had obtained the approval of the Knight King from the parallel world.

In this sense, Wang Xiaoming could also be considered to have done a good deed, fulfilling the wishes of Xiao Mo and also Sishigou Kai Lii.

"Then, in this world, whose wish will I fulfill?"

Once Wang Xiaoming participated in the Blade Dance Tournament, then the champion of the entire competition would basically be pre-determined. Therefore, he could also be considered to have fulfilled the wishes of his teammates.

At that time, Wang Xiaoming could proudly hang a new title on himself.

Mobile Almighty Wish-Granting Machine!

"So, now."

Wang Xiaoming patted his butt and stood up from the stone.

"Let's go find the school that the protagonist is going to enroll in first."

228. I am Nidhogg Ming, the highest-ranking dragon spirit.

"Tsk, it's been too long, I don't remember much, it's really troublesome."

At the entrance of the church, Wang Xiaoming sat on a stone, feeling very speechless. After making a decision, he came out of the church, wanting to find the school that the original protagonist represented, but unfortunately, he didn't remember the name of the academy in the anime at all, and he didn't know where the academy was located, which was quite embarrassing.

The Compass of the Heart had dissipated into magic power after finding Est. The Great Holy Grail had already been very kind to give him a one-time navigation, and he couldn't expect that thing to be used all the time.

So, helplessly, Wang Xiaoming could only sit down again after coming out of the church and wait at the door.

From sitting and waiting inside the church to sitting and waiting at the entrance of the church, Wang Xiaoming was also quite helpless, because he had to wait for the male lead and his harem to come over. The male lead's harem was students of that academy, but Wang Xiaoming forgot her name.

Sorry, the male lead has too many wives, I really don't remember what your name is. After all, there are really too many characters with similar settings to you, a tsundere loli. I really can't remember that many.
